Picked up a new Hatsan 95. Nice rifle but it is a BEAR to break the barrel. My Benjamin NP is nowhere as tough. Is this something which (hopefully) will get easier with time?

Pretty cool trick I heard about a while back. Take some chestnuts (peanuts will probably work as well) and soak them in vodka or similar alcoholic beverage. Place them as bait. Squirrels will stuff their chubby little faces with the alcohol infused nuts and gat a buzz on, throwing them a tad...

A .25 has plenty of oomph for a humane body shot. With room to spare, which a .22 may or may not have. 

SOLD.......... Perfect condition. No optics. Two magazines. CONUS sales only. $300 firm. PayPal F&F plus actual shipping, insurance, and packing cost. Best estimate is around $50.00 +/-

Many issues are having an affect on shipping goods these days, most noticeable among them is the accursed COVID virus. Throw international shipping into the mix and things can become much more complex.

Killer price on the Walther. Wish I had sen that a week ago.

I am picking up s new Hatsan 95 Vortex tomorrow; replacing my Benjamin Marauder. It's going on the market soon. The M-Rod has a Hawke 4-12x50 scope on it I like a lot. Question is: as the m_Rod is a PCP with minimal recoil, will the scope be able to handle the additional recoil which the Hatsan...

Never used a Vortex on an air gun but I have put them into service on a .45-70Henry and .300 Win Mag BAR. Performed flawlessly

We had a mediocre Autumn squirrel season here in Appalachia. Things are pretty much done for now

That gave me an idea. 1/4” piece of PVC and some sort of small dowel. Project in the wind😉

I have two PCP rifles. MRod and a Disco. The M-rod packs the wallop I need for effectively dealing with game here in the mountains. Rifle is just Toooo clunky. The Disco is a quick handler and a joy to shoot. .22 just doesn’t get it done all the time. That’s why shortly the Hatsan 95 in .25...

The PCP discipline is just too tedious. Plus, I’ll still have my Disco ready for service 

Yes Marauders use a magazine. However I am going to sell the MRod and replace it with a Hatsan 95 Vortex (break barrel)

Holds the pellets in a hollow tube; kind of like a straw. A push block follows on one end. Pushes the pellets into the chamber one at a time.

Think I’ll part ways with my Marauder. Very heavy and tedious to recharge with a hand pump. CO2 bottle set up is too spendy. Now I’m having a hard time finding a .25 pellet pen. Hopefully there is one our there somewhere.
